Though clothing trends might be getting more demure and understated — head-to-toe winter white, swingy pastel coats, quilted skirts, and Grandpa-style sweaters — accessory trends seem to be headed the other way. In-your-face and explosive, these awesome add-ons are really aiming to become the centerpiece of your outfit, with futuristic treatments, eye-dazzling colorways, and prints so powerful that you’ll have to plan your outfits around them. Ahead, we’ve celebrated the five accessory trends that won’t only make your look pop, it’ll explode

In-Your-Face Sunnies — In a thick frame and an eye-arresting color or pattern (no blah tortoiseshell here, guys), the fall ’13 sunglasses will bring a bit of summer’s optimism to your more layered autumn wardrobe.

Twinkle Toes — Reflective, twinkling, light-reflecting silver shoes look great with a bold or neutral outfit. Go for a full-on ’70s throwback with silver platforms and a great pair of palazzo pants, or bring a bit of glitz to a simple black sheath with some gleaming lace-up oxfords.

Head-Spinning Headgear — Wearing a flat brim or baseball cap is kind of your thing now, so amp up your hat collection with one in a can’t-miss-it print. Wallpaper florals, aloha patterns, and cheeky animal prints will make sure your head is literally in the style game.

Candy-Colored Crossbodies — Crossbodies might just be the perfect bag shape. Hands-free, compact by still roomy, and appropriate from coffee to cocktails, the crossbody really is the hardest working style of bag we know. And, in a solid rainbow color, it’ll really stand out against your outfit as well.
